In the olde days when I worked at a service station, that actually had service, the one and only big compressor was set at 150psi. Best for lift, impact wrench and what I called a zap gun, aka air chisel for cutting off exhaust pipes. Now we have filling stations with small little compressors. Some require a quarter to run. Either way don't believe they will pump more then 50 psi. What I haven't heard is all these compressors are fitted for schrader valves, but as I write this I do remember getting a small presta to schrader adapter. I'll have to find that thing, I'd prefer to use a compressor my self. Think my little compressor is limited to 100 psi.
